Mike,
I think the list is in total agreement that the 85/2 is a beauty.
Hope you make beatifull pictures with yours. Any chance for us of seeing one
of the shots? I for myself treasure it as my favourite Zuiko.
Glad to see Jaap still gets business. I've purchased a few things from him
myself, all to my satisfaction. I guess I am in the advantage that it's just
a half-hour drive from my office....

For all you C*nonites who like the fl of 85 mm and think the above mentioned
lens is a bit too rich for your blood, perhaps try a sidestep to the C*ntax
Zeiss 85/1.4. Indeed, manual focus and adapter required, but I wouldn't mind
be shooting with that kind of glass....
Cheers,
Bart
